No it's not okay for me to be fat. I just see a lot of obese women at work riding in scooters or very fat women wearing clothing that is way too small. I'm sorry, I live in the South where it is stupid with fatties.

You probably don't see as many morbidly obese men because they're at home, too big to fit through the door of the bedroom anymore, with a nurse scrubbing between their folds. It's not really okay for anyone to end up so fat they can't walk, no need to restrict it to women.

And Pete: most things about the ending of Lost I didn't hate as much as everyone else. The flash sideways was a little odd, it made things confusing for me, but I did hate that they had the man in black use John Locke's body. I hate that every person on that island ended with a tarnished opininion of the one great man they had among them.

And my unpopular opinion about Lost? I fucking hate Jack. I think he is a stubborn, selfish asshole. His only redeeming qualities were his ability to lead and his medical training.

I agree with all of this.

Also - I guess Ryan Gosling is living right by me. The radio stations keep talking about spotting him in my area. He must be filming something here. I wish I had a man-crush on him because then I'd be excited about it. But really, I could care less.

Know what bugs me. Know what really grinds my gears?? When people complain about their kids having to learn Spanish in school now. So what? I have a British friend who speaks French and German too. God forbid our children know more than one boring language because it might cater to the immigrants or whatever reason people don't like kids learning Spanish. Shit, make them learn Japanese too. And Cantonese. Whatever. I don't have any qualms with foreign language. Also, you can't really fault Bro Supremo, there's redneck in the air down here and it'll get assimilate you if you're not paying attention.

Gosh, how pathetic!

That reminds me: I hate when people on holiday (let alone living abroad) don't make even the slightest effort to communicate in the local language. It's so lazy and rude. Unfortunately, I see it a lot.

I love Honey Boo Boo and the family. I think they're lovely people and they make me smile, they're funny and sweet and I love how happy they are.

Uh, you must not have seen the part where the mom was pointing out her "neck crust", ie the crap that was building up in the folds of her neck fat. I couldn't take it anymore after that.

I don't mind, she's happier with herself than I am about me and I don't got no neck crust! I saw her "forklift foot" at the water park in that episode and that was pretty gross bless her. A forklift crushed her foot, leaving it a bit deformed, she never shows it. When she pulled her sock off to reveal it for the camera there were like, tiny flies crawling on it =(
I feel bad that she has to deal with stuff like that. Seems like her foot didn't get the proper medical attention it needed in aftercare.

I don't agree with no smoking laws. I think whether or not a business allows smoking should be up to the proprietor. People can choose not to patronize smoking establishments. I also hate it when non smokers complain about the smoke in bars here. If you don't want to be around it, go to a non smoking bar.

I believe that foreigners who do not like barbecue sauce don't have a valid opinion because it is doubtful that they have had the good stuff. You can barely get good barbecue sauce in New York, much less Romania.

The barbecue thing is pretty funny because I've lived in the American south (okay, southwestISH, I remember you told me Texas isn't really the south) all my life and I think I've had actual barbecue, maybe twice. And it probably wasn't the type of barbecue Melody would even consider barbecue at all. There are so many different types. None of them come in bottles though.

And I really loved the ending of Lost. And Jack sucks. I wasn't aware that was an arguable thing.

I worry that foreign people will watch Honey Boo Boo and other redneck shows and think that's what Americans are like. There's so many shows right now about hillbillies catching animals or eating things people don't normally eat. Maybe i've been around them too long but i don't really find that subculture that interesting. They're fun to hang out with, yeah. I just don't get why there are SO many shows about people wearing camouflage or whatever.

I recently heard that in Asia, they talk about how smelly Americans are. People just don't like the way foreigners smell. And that's alright. Extra showers for everyone.

Houston. People should speak any language they want to speak and smell how they want to smell. I used to cringe when I'd hear someone say, "foreigners need to learn English or git out!" But working in a grocery store and spending day after day dealing with people who don't know English is a very frustrating experience.

I also deal with tons of bitchy women who happen to be fat which makes me dislike fat women.

I know for a fact that people watch shows like Swamp People and Bayou Millionaires and think that's what everyone in Louisiana is like.

A lot of uninformed French people here watch this French reality tv show where a bunch of bimbos go to Miami, and so when I say Florida, they say Miami, and when I say Tampa, they say Miami, and just shut the fuck up, dumbasses. My roommate does this, and I hate it. But he's dumb anyways.

I don't watch Honey Boo Boo and I never will, I'm too disgusted by what few gifs I've seen on tumblr so far. I don't think Americans are like that. Some might be, of course, just like I'm sure there are Europeans who act like that - I even see people in the street acting like that, but I don't jump to conclusions.

My unpopular opinion is that I don't understand the point of reality shows. I don't see why what clothes Kim K is wearing today should be something that interests anyone else but her and maybe the people she sees that day. I don't see why "sports news" headlines sound like: X dating Y, Z club owner gets drunk with W, X has a new tattoo.

I think that if you are visiting another country you should make an effort to learn a few phrases. I think if your move to another country you should make an effort to learn the language. If you have lived here for over five years and you still need your child to translate basic monetary transactions, I don't like you.

I don't like hot liquid. As in, I won't drink hot tea, hot soup (which mostly means soup in general), hot coffee, and I won't take hot showers. I actually have a problem with water in general (I don't like getting wet by surprise, and I won't swim in water where I can't touch the bottom with my toes), but that's more of a deep-seeded problem of mine.

I enjoy going to the movies alone much more than with company.

I hate ketchup (most other condiments are okay, though).

I generally like Pepsi over Coca~Cola, but my favorite soda is Vanilla Coke.

(This one isn't unpopular so much as it's just weird) I think we should have two presidents every term, one Democratic and one Republican. The Republican one should be based out of New York City, and the Democratic one should be in the middle of Texas.

The rate that technology is advancing scares me, and I think we should stop - but I know there's too many of us and it's way too late, anyway.

All my showers are cold and I don't use shampoo. I won't swim in any public waters at all. Pools, lakes, ponds. Unless I have to jump in to save a baby or something, but there's probably enough people pissing and masturbating in there that someone else can save it instead. Oceans and seas creep me out. I love seeing the creatures that live in them, and all the new monsters and plants that get discovered, but images of the sea's surface, just stretching out forever and ever, deep as eternity, make me feel strange. It's not an anxiety or a sadness or a scared feeling, it's...I don't know but I don't like it. The same feeling I get about space. Before they created me, my father got his leg wrapped up by a seaweed monster in a lake and almost drowned before Mum went down under there and cut him out. So a lake almost stopped me from being born. So fuck lakes. And when I was a child, in that same lake, I was riding on my dinosaur raft and I trusted a girl to push me around but not out too far...but she purposely brought me out far and I panicked and fell off and she swam away while I drowned before Mum pulled me out. Near the same spot as the seaweed. So maybe that girl was sent back in time to kill me, after she failed to kill my father by wrapping seaweed around his leg to stop me from being born.

Me too. I hate watching movies with someone else.

Yeah. But hopefully it will calm down when all the dorky sci-fi fadness stops. Not that I have a problem with sci-fi, but it is encouraging some dangerous shit here in reality. I constantly wonder how much more can possible be tampered with, and for how much longer, before the planet is just dropped from it's axis, or oxygen just stops. (Gasp) Noooooo that will not make a good movie. Don't you fuckin' do it, Hollywood's End The World Department! Oh well. We should go see that together, separately, at different times.

I love water stuff. Whenever my family comes to Austin, or whenever me and my friends have enough money during the summer, we rent a boat and go tubing (is that what it's called?). My brother always drives, and he makes sure to send you flying at least 10 feet in the air before you skip on the water like a rock. It's an amazing feeling. Also, not really a "water" issue, but technically yes, snowboarding is my favorite hobby. It's just too bad I've been in a desert for 97% of my life.

Yeah, I go to the movies alone a lot, too. These days, I only enjoy going with either a girl to a silly one, or to a great one with my friend who knows how to shut the hell up and not order loud, crunchy food.

I have no opinion on the advancement of technology. I think we'll be more than okay. Besides, I'm pretty sure they'll invent a pill that can keep people in top physical condition without having to eat right or exercise. Now THAT'S the best case scenario, and the Wall-E world would've seemed a lot cooler if they'd bothered inventing that. Then people could just concentrate all their energies on contributing to society, and just have fun the rest of the time.

I thought Flavor of Love and Rock of Love were hilarious.
I've never seen Honey Boo Boo, but what Amy said about the foot and Big S said about the neck crust made me feel ill and I'm not sure I would want to watch that.
If it's adults being idiots then it's kind of entertaining. Bringing children into it makes it a bit iffy.

We have a lot of people here opposed to children learning Maori. I think it's great though! Learning any language is beneficial even if it isn't necessarily "useful", it does give people a greater understanding of language in general.

Me too! As a child, whenever we used to go away on our yacht, I would feel uncomfortable about looking deep into the water, or across the vastness of the sea, as I was thinking of all the weird shit below the surface... WW2 fighter jets, blown up submarines... and Jaws of course. Really, I think that moment where that one-eyed face pops out of the sunken boat has left me with serious issues.

Anyway, I really admire deep-sea divers that can go down and look at stuff like that, but I definitely couldn't do it. There was an article in the Mail Online (that great newspaper!) this week about some divers doing just that, actually. The pictures are amazing but really give me the chills!

The shower conversation reminds me of that episode of the Flintstones where Fred and Barney accidentally superglue their hands to each other. There is actually a scene where they argue what temperature their shower should be.

I remember reading somewhere that the rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition was made up by some bitter writer because he didn't like to do it, but his works were less popular than others, or something like that.
